You are the art piece, the miracle, the miracle of perfection that has been created and birthed by and through the Divine Mother, and then through another mother.
This is my request to you: to love and admire and nurture and honour your Sacred Self, the way I love and honour not only myself, beloved, but you!
THE MAGDALENA ~ Loving Your Sacred Self!
This fabulous Channelled Gem is lovingly shared by Ellen from her reading with Linda Dillon.
Greetings, I AM the Magdalena. And yes, I step forward because both of you have called to me!
And yes, beloved sister, of course, you work with the essences, with the oils, with the bestowing of healing, of expansion, of renewal, of remembering. But I also come as ancient friend to, yes, remind you of the deep honouring, cherishing, protecting, nurturing of your Sacred Self, because it truly is the foundation on which all other interactions are built.
Far too often in the realm of human affairs, there has been this pattern of being kind and considerate and generous with others – and I don’t just mean for you, but it certainly applies to thee – and then not being that way with yourself. Yes, the judge, the jury, the admirer, the critic, your aspects, your team: they are there. They’re not some distant relative living on another continent. They are there with you. They are there with every particle of your being.
This illusion of separation – because that is what it is – doesn’t benefit. There is no win in keeping these parts of yourself from yourself.
Think of it in this way. If you were to come upon a work of art, a Renoir or a Degas, it wouldn’t matter what; a sculpture, a glass piece – you would see the enormous beauty and, of course, you would declare it – and you would admire it – and you would protect it. And you would not be frivolous in your handling of it!
And yet, think of it. You are the art piece that the Mother and Father, Belle’Anna, your family, has created! You are the art piece, you are the miracle, the miracle of perfection that has been created and birthed by and through the Divine Mother, and then through another mother.
I know whereof I speak because, far too often, even I had overlooked in earlier times the precious nature of my Sacred Self!
And so, I say to thee – and I say to thee, through thee, to the billions of humans and the gazillion flowers, and the mountains, and the rocks, and the trees: Start with yourself! And see, and care, and love, and honour this work of art, this precious creation, that Heaven has wrought.
When you look, say, at an oil painting by one of the masters, some would say, “Oh, but there was a little glitch here. Look, his paintbrush must have just slipped a tiny quarter of an inch or a speck.” And what do the experts, so-called [chuckling], say? “Well, that is a unique aspect of the work of the artist. That is how we know it is his or hers.”
And so it is with your Sacred Self! That which you at times judge as an imperfection is, in fact, the unique mark of the divine artist who has guided your hand in the creation of your current self. There are no mistakes. There are no imperfections.
And yes, I know, there are those who would say, “Well, what about the crippled child or the demented woman?” These have been choices to teach compassion; sometimes, yes, as a great offering of self. But admiration, yes, is important. Honouring is not an option; it is a necessity. Caretaking, nurturing, loving!
And so, yes, sweet one, what does the internal voice say? What is the internal conversation? I do not say this in any way at all of criticism. You tend to be gentle and considerate of your beautiful self, but what I do say is that there is room for more. Yes, it is the Mother’s way of operating, is it not? There is always more!
So be more kind, more gentle, more admiring, more honouring, more caring of yourself. Not just of the words you speak. When I speak of internal conversation, I mean opinions; I mean nurturing; I mean criticisms that are so often levelled at the self rather than encouragement, even cheerleading. No.
This is my request to you: to love and admire and nurture and honour your Sacred Self, the way I love and honour not only myself, beloved, but you!
E: That’s so beautiful, Magdalena, and mirrors perfectly what Linda and I were talking about, and what had struck me about the primary importance of our internal dialogue from Linda & Isaac’s wonderful little video clip presenting The Art of Communication & Speaking Saedor class. Shall we share this as encouragement for others?
M: Yes! Go with my love as I step aside for your sweet Belle’Anna. And go in glee, sweet one! Go in celebration! For it is time!
